Superhydrophobic surfaces have received rapidly increasing research interest since the late 1990s because of their tremendous application potential in areas such as self-cleaning and anti-icing surfaces, drag reduction, and enhanced heat transfer (1–3). A surface is considered superhydrophobic if a water droplet beads up (with contact angles >150°), and moreover, if the droplet can slide away from the surface readily (i.e., it has small contact angle hysteresis). Two essential features are generally required for superhydrophobicity: a micro- or nanostructured surface texture and a nonpolar surface chemistry, to help trap a thin air layer that reduces attractive interactions between the solid surface and the liquid (4, 5). However, such surface textures are highly susceptible to mechanical wear, and abrasion may also alter surface chemistry. Both processes can lead to loss of liquid repellency, which makes mechanical durability a central concern for practical applications (6, 7). Identifying the most promising avenues to mechanically robust superhydrophobic materials calls for standardized characterization methods.
Wearing out a nonwetting surface.
A superhydrophobic surface generally loses its liquid repellency after mechanical abrasion. (A) A water droplet rolls on a superhydrophobic surface, where the liquid is suspended by a solid-air composite interface. (B) A setup for linear abrasion test. (C) A droplet gets stuck on the same surface after abrasion because of the failure of the composite interface.

A variety of methods have been used to test the durability of superhydrophobic surfaces, including linear abrasion, circular abrasion, tape peeling, blade scratching, sand abrasion, ball-on-disk sliding, oscillating steel ball, and water jet tests (6–9). Although many groups report superhydrophobic surfaces resistant to a certain test, the lack of standardization usually makes comparison of different reported results impossible. An additional issue is that surface wetting is often not characterized in the most useful manner.
For standardization purposes, a wear-test method should be accessible to most research groups, relevant to most applications, reproducible (that is, insensitive to uncontrolled parameters), and produce a uniformly abraded surface large enough for wetting characterization. The linear abrasion test appears to best fulfill these requirements (see the figure). It involves rubbing a flat solid abradant against the sample surface under a normal load (7, 10, 11).
Although linear abrasion is already often used for testing the mechanical durability of superhydrophobic surfaces, many studies do not specify sufficient details to facilitate comparison among different materials. The applied normal pressure obviously needs to be controlled. Also, a key parameter is the abrasion distance experienced by each point on the abraded surface, which is the product of the number of abrasion strokes and either the stroke length or the length of the abradant head (whichever is smaller). A problem may arise if the abradant head is circular instead of rectangular, as the abrasion distance may then not be uniform over the abraded area. Whether the abradant moves and the sample stays stationary, or vice versa, is a matter of choice. The effect of abrasion speed may need investigation, but is not expected to be critical.
A difficult matter is the choice of abradant. In applications, a superhydrophobic surface may be exposed to rubbing of materials with varying hardness, texture, and resilience. Milionis et al. suggested testing a large combination of properties with a set of three materials—textile, rubber, and vitrified (sandpaper) abradants (7). Such a test series is reproducible between research groups only when the precise type of each abradant is well defined; for this, commercial standardized abradants might present a solution. However, hard abradants usually cause the strongest wear action, so a simple but satisfactory option that would enable community-wide comparison could be the use of silicon carbide sandpapers. Such sandpapers are available with grit size ranging from coarse to ultrafine, allowing determination of the wear response to hard textures with either roughening or smoothening effect.
Even a well-conducted wear test is of little value without characterization in terms of droplet mobility and the advancing and receding contact angles (contact angles to initiate the advancing and receding of a solid-liquid contact line, respectively). Reporting only static contact angles (contact angle after droplet deposition) is common but unfortunately of little value. The static contact angle is not easily affected by abrasion because the advancing contact angle stays high. However, the receding contact angle of abraded surfaces is often quickly reduced, which leads to large hysteresis (difference between the two contact angles) and low droplet mobility (4). It is imperative to characterize the effect of wear in terms of change in contact angle hysteresis or just in the receding contact angle. Alternatively, the sliding or roll-of angle can be used (critical surface inclination at which a sessile droplet starts to move), as it is related to contact angle hysteresis (12). In this case, the droplet volume affects the sliding angle (5) and needs to be reported. Prior to wetting characterization, the surface should be cleaned of debris.
Numerous opportunities are emerging from the study of superhydrophobic materials, so standardized wear testing is highly desirable to accelerate their transfer to real applications. We suggest that linear abrasion should be a primary test and that pressure, abrasion distance, and abradant materials should be clearly specified. The wear-induced change in contact angle hysteresis, receding contact angle, and/or sliding angle should be given. The wear intensity should be incremented up to the point of failure, instead of performing a cursory test and declaring the surface wear-resistant. Although the linear abrasion test is recommended for all superhydrophobic surfaces, additional tests are encouraged—for example, a substrate adhesion test for superhydrophobic coatings (13), a laundering test for superhydrophobic textiles (14), and a water jet test for outdoor (rain) applications.

The USS Fitzgerald was damaged again by the massive ship that was supposed to take it to the US for repairs
Christopher Woody
Nov. 27, 2017, 2:42 PM
Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald docked at the US naval base in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo, Japan, July 11, 2017.
The Fitzgerald, damaged in a collision this summer, was scheduled to return to the US for repairs aboard a commercial heavy-lift vessel.
But the Fitzgerald sustained more damage while being loaded on to the transport vessel.
It will take several days to repair the new damage before the USS Fitzgerald can be loaded again for its trip home.
The USS Fitzgerald, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer crippled in a collision this summer, was damaged again this month as it was loaded on to a heavy-lift vessel that was supposed to take it to the US for repairs.
The Fitzgerald was towed back to Japan after colliding with a Philippine-flagged merchant ship in mid-June. Once at the 7th Fleet's base in Yokosuka, engineers patched the hole that was ripped below the warship's waterline, but it was still unable to sail under its own power.
The Fitzgerald was towed into deep water on Friday in order to be loaded on the MV Transshelf, the heavy-lift vessel that would carry it back to a Huntington Ignalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. However, the warship sustained two new punctures in its hull from the steel support structure on the Transshelf, the Navy said Monday, according to Stars and Stripes.

A heavy-lift vessel transports other ships by filling ballast tanks to submerge its main deck, allowing the cargo to be floated on board. Once secured, the heavy-lift vessel sheds its ballast and sails under its own power. At its destination, the heavy-lift ship reverses the process, allowing the cargo to float off.
The Navy estimated it would take several days to do the repairs necessary before the Fitzgerald could link up with the Transshelf for the loading process, which will itself take several days.
The Navy hired a commercial heavy-lift vessel to transport the Fitzgerald to the US for repair. (The same kind of ship was used to transport the damaged USS John S. McCain from Singapore to Japan after it collided with another ship.) Seventh Fleet officials said in August that the Fitzgerald could be transferred to the US as soon as September, though the damaged destroyer has yet to leave Japan.
The Navy decided to move the ship back to the US to free up space in Yokosuka so other ships from the fleet could undergo repairs.
"We could do it" in Japan, 7th Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Clay Doss told Stars and Stripes. "It's just more cost effective and safer to go through the heavy-lift route."

The June 17 collision between the Fitzgerald and a merchant ship sailing under the Philippine flag killed seven US sailors and injured three others. Two of the Fitzgerald's senior officers and a senior enlisted sailor were relieved by the Navy after the incident. Several officer and enlisted watch-standers were also held responsible.
Only about 50 of the Fitzgerald's 300-man crew will accompany the ship during its return to the US. The others will have opportunity to join other commands in Japan, "based on available billets, individual crew desires and the needs of the Navy," Doss told Stars and Stripes, adding that some sailors requested reassignment to locations outside Japan.
The Fitzgerald collision was one of four incidents involving US Navy ships in less than a year, two of which led to fatalities. The spate of accidents led to concerns about cyberattacks on US ships or on transportation infrastructure, though the Navy found no evidence that was the culprit.
However, the incidents have drawn attention to sleep deprivation among US sailors and the strain created by high operational tempos.

Mine has been a little bit of a blur. 2017 has been a year of planting seeds for me, and some of them have sprouted and grown a little sooner and with more vitality than even I anticipated. All of a sudden I have a whole garden of young things to tend to. It's a good problem to have, certainly, but add to that two small children — including one who's not sleeping all that well — and you have to manage your mind even more carefully.
A love of cooking and baking often goes hand in hand with a creative streak. It's certainly what drew me to cooking in the first place! And I find I need to feed my creativity beyond the kitchen, so I make sure I carve out time for drawing, painting, and lettering.
If this is you, too, or if you have an artistic friend or relative to shop for, I have put together a round-up of the tools and books and classes that keep me inspired and joyful year-round.
Our relationship to beauty products says so much about ourselves: do we spend a fortune on tubes smaller than our pinkies that promise to erase any proof that we once smiled? Have we been buying the same stuff, month in, month out, since age fifteen? Do we follow the (totally unbiased) magazine reviews and share in the enthusiasm for this or that new molecule? Do we lose sleep over sulphates, chlorides, glycerines, and nano-particles ?
Do we go full granola and… make our own?
If you're in the latter camp, but feel intimidated by the long lists of exotic ingredients you would have to special order and then store in some cabinet until they rot or stale, this post is for you!
I've put together this list of quick recipes for homemade all-natural cosmetics, selecting ones that are very easy to follow. You can often make them your own by swapping ingredients for ones that will work best for your skin type, and the best thing is, they mostly use ingredients you already have at home!
No excuse not to give them a go, and any of these would make a lovely homemade gift this holiday season.


In this page, you can see "AMERICAN ROULETTE Tips & Strategies – How to Play Online? 2019" article.
If you're looking for some loose melodies and the chance to experience a casino atmosphere in the comfort of your own home, then it's time to check out one of the many roulette varieties available in our recommended casinos. This is Net Entertainment's American Roulette and if you've played French Roulette, you already know the score. For those who don't, read on to learn more.
American Roulette is, of course, different from French Roulette because it contains an extra pair of zeros and theoretically reduces your chances of winning. The heel is divided into 38 parts instead of 37, so consider this when choosing your roulette variable. Install the game; A display below the betting table and a rotating wheel is slowly shown. The "Hot" and "Cold" numbers are listed on the right-hand side of the wheel and this shows the most common results. Statistically, this has no effect on future results, but you can bet on all Hot or Cold numbers by clicking on any title.
Make a standard bet by selecting a chip size from £ 1.00 to £ 500.00 (maximum bet size is £ 10,000). Single numbers, two numbers at a time, odds / evens, red / black etc. You can bet on it – the choice is yours. For more complex bets, you can click on the "Open Race Track" button on the left of the chips that will open the race track. Here you can choose a number and automatically place a total of five bets on either side of the two sides. Unlike the French version, note that there is no more complex "neighbor" bet, so things are a bit simpler.
When you are finished, click the green button in the lower right corner to start the ball movement. Now watch it hoping that you'll land on one of your numbers. Now you can repeat your bets or start over if you prefer a different strategy. This is an excellent roulette game, but because RTP is better for the player, we tend to play European versions. The single zero version is 97.30% and it is 94.74%.
American Roulette, which explodes with a nice video package as a graphic, will definitely make you a great entry. When the video package ends, you will be a very relaxing music serenade while playing. Of course, you will be directed to the game screen where the required table and roulette wheel are shown. The American Roulette offered by Netent is packed with high quality graphics as always, and is designed to be easy to play. If you have already understood the idea behind playing such a product, you will have no difficulty in placing your bets and playing the game in general. However, if you need some more help in understanding and playing the game, continue reading.
As you mentioned, you'll see a video package prepared with only the best quality graphics when playing this game. However, when you enter the real game, this quality does not give up. While the logo is displayed in the upper left corner, the rotating roulette wheel is in the middle upper position. On the right, you'll be able to see hot and cold numbers in the final games and give you clues to the way in which gambling will be. Finally, it is a betting table designed in vivid blue that is completely spread to the bottom of the screen. Of course, you'll have the chance to make various bets here, including 1-1, even or single, red or black, 2nd 12 and lots of other options.
Under the game interface, you will find a variety of personalization options available on American Roulette. You can open the payout table of the game by pressing the icon marked "I". Besides, you have the ability to open the racetrack, and the icon next to it offers more statistics. Finally, the button inside the star will provide you with your favorite bets that you have saved. You also have the chance to choose the gambling chips in the middle, which range from € 1 to € 500 and provide the minimum and maximum bets that you can play per round.
One of the most popular board games you will find is a French-inspired roulette game. American Roulette from ISoftbet invites you to play this popular board game with prizes up to 35: 1. The game uses 3D graphics to create a table similar to what you can find in a live casino with a blue velvet table. Accompanying the slot is a realistic sound that includes the voice of the seller, the clogging of chips and the rotation of the ball. You can choose one of the coins with a value of 0,10 €, 0,50 €, 1 €, 5 € and 10 €. There are a number of strategies that can go up to 35: 1 directly. Also divided in 17: 1, 17: 1 divided in 0, 11: 1 street, 11: 1 triple and 8: 1 has a corner. Also six in 5: 1, top in 6: 1, column in dozens of 2: 1, red / black in 1: 1, even in 1: 1 and first in 1: 1 / second half. If the slot is also the strategy you want, the group also allows you to place bets.
In this game there are some shortcuts that allow you to play with your last bet, betting and returning, cancel the bet and cancel all of them. Before you start playing for real money, you can visit the casino today to try out the American Roulette casino game for free.
How you play in the game depends entirely on you. You can either select a single number or place a chip in the middle of the two numbers to bet on both. You can bet on four numbers by placing a chip in the center of the quad or by placing a chip in one of the 2: 1 sections, you can choose a specific row to bet. In addition, you can place the chips in Double or Single, in sections 1-18 or 19-36, the possibilities are almost infinite in places where roulette is involved. After all your bets have been placed, just press the button in the lower right corner of the screen. This will set the ball to run around the roulette wheel. If the bet falls to a slot equal to the number you make, you will receive a corresponding payment.
The winnings you can get in this game include a payout of 1: 1 for red or black, even or odd, or bets with 1-18 and 19-36. While winning a dozen gambling or winning a column gamble is 2: 1, the other prizes are a 6: 1 winning 5: 1 win, 6: 1, and 35: 1 for a first place gamble. Any roulette game is generally played in the same way, but what makes American Roulette so different and interesting is the fluidity of your overall game, as well as the video package for the initial game.
Although these games are not classic olan American Roulette Her, they are actually the closest thing to the game. The reason for this is that they offer some additional opportunities for winning and an interesting theme. But in order to fully understand why we suggest three more non-classical games and to suggest that we do not recommend some classic variations, you need to know why American Roulette is such a bad representative.
It is true that American Roulette is the worst possible roulette variation, but some of its derivatives are quite pleasant. With an additional slot on the wheel, there are wonderful games that make them 38 in total, but instead of being double zero slots, you can have a bonus or bonus slot. A great example is Key Betulette, which has a special "bonus" slot that will take you to the bonus game if you win. In the bonus round, you'll have a 50-fold multiplication bet or Pot – a chance to win a jackpot up to 100 times your winning bet.
Since there are not many free things in this world, you should take the opportunity when you find something that is free. For example, you should make an experiment before mentioning the free demo of American Roulette. You don't need to download anything or log in to an account. The game can be played right here on the page. No matter how unusual the demo is, you can test your own strategies and see how fair you are without any clues.
If you take the time to become familiar with a game before you start playing, you will never be wrong. It takes some time to get used to the rules and features of a new game, so I suggest you take a few minutes to play the American Roulette demo, so you can test new strategies, discover features, and test different scenarios. When you start playing as real, you won't have any big surprises. The last step before playing is to read the game rules. We suggest you read them completely, but if you want to see their basics, go to the next section of this review, which we're going to spoil some of the basic rules and features of American Roulette.

System (disambiguation)
System (journal)
A system is a set of interacting or interdependent component parts forming a complex/intricate whole. Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.
The term system may also refer to a set of rules that governs structure and/or behavior. Alternatively, and usually in the context of complex social systems, the term is used to describe the set of rules that govern structure and/or behavior.
The term "system" comes from the Latin word systēma, in turn from Greek σύστημα systēma: "whole compounded of several parts or members, system", literary "composition".
According to Marshall McLuhan,
"System" means "something to look at". You must have a very high visual gradient to have systematization. In philosophy, before Descartes, there was no "system". Plato had no "system". Aristotle had no "system".
In the 19th century the French physicist Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, who studied thermodynamics, pioneered the development of the concept of a "system" in the natural sciences. In 1824 he studied the system which he called the working substance (typically a body of water vapor) in steam engines, in regards to the system's ability to do work when heat is applied to it. The working substance could be put in contact with either a boiler, a cold reservoir (a stream of cold water), or a piston (to which the working body could do work by pushing on it). In 1850, the German physicist Rudolf Clausius generalized this picture to include the concept of the surroundings and began to use the term "working body" when referring to the system.

The term system may refer to:
System, a set of entities, real or abstract, comprising a whole
Meta-system, something composed of multiple smaller systems
In natural sciences
Systems science, an interdisciplinary field that studies the nature of complex systems in nature, society, and science
Physical system, the portion of the physical universe chosen for analysis
Thermodynamic system
Planetary system, e.g., the Solar System
Ecosystem, an entity comprising a large number of organisms and their environment
Biological system, a group of organs
System (stratigraphy), a unit of the geologic record of a rock column
Linguistic system, a conception of linguistics in the tradition of linguists such as Ferdinand de Saussure, J. R. Firth, Louis Hjelmslev, Michael Halliday, Ruqaiya Hasan, Jay Lemke
In information technology
Computer system, the combination of hardware and software which forms a complete, working computer. Computer systems will include the computer alongside any software (example: operating system, BIOS) and peripheral devices that are necessary to make the computer function.

Lunar Eclipse sextile Mars
Lunar Eclipse in Gemini
November 30, 2020 / grayastrology / 4 Comments
Folio from a Mu'nis al-ahrar fi daqa'iq al-ash'ar (The Free Man's Companion to the Subtleties of Poems) of Jajarmi dated 1340–41
Mystery and shadow envelope our experiences during the time of eclipses, making it predictable to encounter unpredictable change and an influx of fertile chaos. The Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on November 30 will initiate us into a liminal portal that leads to the Total Solar Eclipse that will occur on December 14 at 23°08′ Sagittarius. While sequences of eclipses always unleash a series of events that bring important endings and beginnings in our storylines, the eclipse season that arrives at the end of 2020 will bring more than the usual amount of accelerated change due to its synchronous alignment with the grand conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn on December 21. The dragon of this eclipse season is ushering us into a new era.
Indeed, the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction at the end of 2020 demarcates not only the ending and beginning of the typical twenty year cycle between the superior planets, in this case it also transitions us from a two hundred year era of Jupiter and Saturn aligning in earth signs into a two century era of Jupiter and Saturn uniting in air signs. Thus the typical dissolution we would normally expect due to being at the threshold of a new astrological era will be exacerbated by the vortex of volatility opened up by eclipses. Since the light of the glowing Full Moon becomes obscured by shadow during lunar eclipses, we similarly must pass through a dissolving phase of darkness that will reshape matters in fundamental ways. Fittingly, both Gemini and Sagittarius are mutable signs that assist in adapting to monumental transitions.
The Gemini Lunar Eclipse on November 30 is classified as penumbral, meaning that although the light of the Moon will be darkened by shadow it will not turn blood red in color as it does during a total lunar eclipse. Lunar Eclipses occur when a Full Moon lines up with the degrees of the transiting North Node and South Node of the Moon, and the closer they align corresponds with a more dramatic shadowing during the eclipse. Since the Gemini Lunar Eclipse will be eleven to twelve degrees away from the transiting lunar nodes, the shadowing will be fainter and less noticeable to the naked eye. However, the eclipse symbolism of a great dragon consuming the light of the Moon is still in effect, and so we will need to let go of certain elements of our life passing away while welcoming the emergence of new twists and turns within our story.
The Gemini Lunar Eclipse is most of all significant for being the first eclipse in a series to occur in Gemini, as well as setting in motion our first experience of back to back eclipses occurring along the axis of the North Node of the Moon in Gemini and the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius. The true node calculation of the lunar nodes entered Gemini and Sagittarius on May 5, 2020 and a month later we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on June 5. Though we have been orienting to the presence of the North Node of the Moon in Gemini during the past six months, its full implications will be more deeply felt by the Moon becoming eclipsed while heading toward a conjunction with its North Node in Gemini. With the Sun simultaneously heading toward a conjunction with the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius, the ways in which you are letting go of old beliefs that no longer resonate with your experience will be fueling an influx of new perspectives to reconcile with your worldview.
Since the meaning of a lunar eclipse is rooted in the phenomenon of our Sun casting the shadow of our Earth onto the face of our Moon, Dane Rudhyar interpreted the solar shadow as symbolizing the present overcoming the past as shadows veil the lunar impact of past conditioning on our present consciousness. Since the Gemini Lunar Eclipse is aligned with the North Node of the Moon while the Sun is illuminating the side of the South Node of the Moon, growth will come from the resolution and release of old issues and cultural conditioning that have shaped our beliefs and vision of life in the past. By shedding and emptying old beliefs there will be new questions that need to be asked and new lines of thought to follow with our curiosity.
Gemini tends to be a misunderstood zodiacal sign in popular astrology, oftentimes devalued despite the depth of thought it applies toward holding and contemplating a multiplicity of perspectives. Its double-bodied and digressive nature means that events linked with the eclipse in Gemini will require multi-tasking and present choices to pursue rather than a clear focus on only one option forward. While we will ultimately be able to weave together insight and find our way into the authentic path to follow, the events stirred up by the Gemini Lunar Eclipse will require a nuanced capacity for questioning, listening, and holding the tension of divergent perspectives until greater clarity is gained. Gemini is not known for stability, yet its airy and humane nature will invigorate and open up experiences and relationships rather than keep things stuck in stagnation.
As the Lunar Eclipse will occur at 8°37′ Gemini, it will be close in zodiacal degree to the legendary fixed star Aldebaran that is known as one of the four royal stars connected with worldly power and acclaim. In fact, the Gemini Lunar Eclipse will also be visually close to Aldebaran in the sky creating a visible celestial omen to decipher. Aldebaran is the bright rosy eye of the Bull whose reddish hue connects it with the planet Mars, as Aldebaran kindles the vitality needed to achieve the ambitious desires stoked by Mars. It's therefore notable that the Gemini Lunar Eclipse is applying toward a sextile with Mars in Aries. The interpretation Bernadette Brady gave to Aldebaran seems fitting in connection with the eclipse, as she wrote that ethical integrity needs to be followed to achieve success in connection with the red star (1). It will be an opportune period for questioning your aspirations and anyway that you could come out of alignment with your integrity by trying to achieve them.
The next eclipses that will occur in Gemini and Sagittarius will be a total lunar eclipse at 5°26′ Sagittarius on May 26, 2021 and a solar eclipse at 19°47′ Gemini on June 10, 2021, followed by a solar eclipse on December 3, 2021 at 12°22′ Sagittarius. You can begin preparing for the larger arc of storylines that will be changing during the next year of these eclipses by reflecting upon the life topics associated with the houses the degrees of the eclipses impact in your natal chart. Oftentimes the new narratives emerging with one pair of eclipses will go through major developments when the subsequent pair of eclipses strike six months later.
Rubedo: Forever Fixed in the Heart of the Sun (2018) by Marlene Seven Bremner
The Gemini Lunar Eclipse is applying toward an invigorating sextile aspect with Mars in Aries, while Mercury in Scorpio as the ruler of the eclipse is likewise applying to a sextile aspect with Saturn in Capricorn. From August through October 2020, the astrological landscape was dominated by a harsh square aspect between Saturn in Capricorn and Mars in Aries that intensified as Mars stationed retrograde. While they are still occupying zodiacal signs that form a square with one another, they have now put some distance between them. Saturn is now at the end of Capricorn and moving direct through the final degrees of the Sea Goat en route to entering Aquarius on December 16. Although Mars and Saturn will form one more square aspect in this series in January 2021 once Mars has entered Taurus, we now have an opportunity to reset and reconfigure to how we have already been reshaped by their tension.
Mars stationed direct two and a half weeks ago on November 13, but has moved less than two degrees forward since then. The sextile between the Gemini Lunar Eclipse with Mars in Aries will attune awareness with Mars finally beginning to build some forward momentum during the waning half of the current lunar cycle. In combination with the volatility of eclipse season, those who have felt stuck in situations they have wished to change may finally make a needed separation or push forward toward new growth opportunities. As the Gemini eclipse may coincide with numerous potential paths to choose between, the influence from Mars in Aries can help in cutting through to the authentic choice that needs to be made.
In contrast, the harmonizing sextile aspect between Mercury in Scorpio with Saturn in Capricorn is less about fiery action and more about deepening and grounding into the depth of one's circumstances to discern the most effective ways to navigate through the epochal transition arriving at the end of the year. There is immense capacity for thorough research and penetrating contemplation within the sextile between Mercury and Saturn that can be applied to any area of life in need of attention and discernment. In addition to looking forward, the sextile between Mercury and Saturn may also be utilized in reflecting back upon the many experiences and lessons that have coincided with the transit of Saturn in Capricorn that began on December 19, 2017. We are close to the end of Saturn's momentous journey through Capricorn and it will be worth the time it takes to ponder what you have learned from the experience before it enters Aquarius for good on December 16.
Neptune Stationing
While the Gemini Lunar Eclipse is applying to a sextile aspect with Mars in Aries, its next aspect will be a catalyzing square aspect with Neptune in Pisces. Neptune is a major influence over the lunar eclipse due to the fact that it stationed direct on November 28 while also forming a confounding square aspect with the transiting lunar nodes. When Neptune stations direct it saturates the astrological landscape with its influence so that instead of being in the background or out of consciousness it becomes more viscerally felt. Among other things Neptune signifies the multitudinous meaning found in images, and so it will be worthwhile to explore the meaning of any images that grab your attention whether through dreams or your waking life. The stationing of Neptune may bring images that inspire with the ineffable quality of soul, unveiling aspects of inner psyche through contemplation.
The impact of Neptune forming a square aspect with the transiting lunar nodes is difficult to fully capture in words but clearly seen in current events full of numerous conspiracy theories and fraudulent attempts to manipulate public opinion by those in power. Issues surrounding social media, the Internet, and the alternating realities they can create that make bridging political divides seem impossible are major issues that the coming era of Jupiter and Saturn uniting in air signs will exacerbate and that the stationing of Neptune while at the bending of the lunar nodes has been making obvious. Neptune can dissolve structures of thought into a process of disillusionment, confusion, and disorientation that can be difficult to traverse with clarity when in the middle of it. Yet with the eclipses activating the South Node in Sagittarius and North Node in Gemini, crucial lessons will be found through reorienting to our reality with the sense of truth we gain from experiences of disillusionment.
The questions of Neptune do not have easy answers, and as the Moon will be eclipsed on the side of its North Node in Gemini we can further surmise that the larger answers to our questions will also not come from the "spirit of the times" as C.G. Jung would say. No matter if the information is coming from what is perceived as a mainstream or alternative source, ultimately we will each need to descend to our inner depths to discern our way through the maze of cultural influences to find our authentic path forward. While the shadow of Gemini in square with Neptune in Pisces can involve distraction and deception, its more positive potential involves an open mind willing to listen, committed to questioning everything, and actively witnessing the reality of the multitudinous and those on the margins overlooked by others.
Gemini 1 Decan
The Moon will be eclipsed in the first decan of Gemini associated with the Eight of Swords card illustrated above by Pamela Colman Smith. The image is apt for the fears and grief that have been overwhelming to many during the past year of pandemics and political turmoil. The image of the bound woman has been interpreted as the paralysis that comes from fears running rampant within or triggered in present circumstances. While some interpretations suggest that the same mental swords enveloping the figure could also be used to cut away the fabric of bondage, it is also important to note the moist and muddy fertility of the ground she is standing on. As Jupiter rules the first face of Gemini, the image also reveals how fear can arise in times when a huge new potential becomes available to step into. As much as it is possible to release fears related to what has happened in the past that are being projected into the present moment, the more gracefully we will be able to flow into the tremendous change that will come in the next month of eclipses and the grand conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn.
Austin Coppock in his book on the decans 36 Faces ascribed the image of "The Apple of Eden" to the first face of Gemini, linking Eve's bite into the apple with emerging awareness of "the duality within all things" including the yin and yang of the self. Coppock described that the discovery of the binary and "the multiplicity within all unities, the complexity in apparent simplicities" unlocks "the capacity to code all things" and display clever skills in all of the arts and sciences. Yet in keeping with the image of the Eight of Swords card, Coppock also declared that this opening to abundant flow also "de-centers and sometimes paralyzes its inhabitants." Coppock noted that the mental acuity of this decan not only generates all arts and crafts, it also directs its prodigious curiosity to explore the multitudinous found within, both the light and the shadow of the deep Self (2).
In contrast to the tightly bound woman in the Eight of Swords image, ancient texts ascribed a graceful woman of flowing mind and deft dexterity inhabiting the first decan of Gemini. Ibn Ezra pictured "A beautiful woman standing in the air, and she can sew," while in the Picatrix we find "A beautiful woman, a mistress of stitching, and with her ascend two calves and two horses." Indeed, the Picatrix declares it to be "a face of the art of the scribe, of reckoning, of number, of giving and receiving, and of the sciences." In keeping with the double-bodied nature of the sign of the Twins, we can imagine how the image of a woman gracefully prodigious in arts and crafts is another side of the first face of Gemini to remember in contrast to the Eight of Swords image.
Fascinatingly, the Hellenistic text the 36 Airs ascribed Tethus, also known as Tethys, to the first face of Gemini. Since Tethys is the Titan goddess of fresh water which interconnects and nourishes our earth, we can note her appearance in the Eight of Swords image as the water at the foundation of the figure. Tethys was also the wife of Okeanos, the primal sea divinity of the oceanic field surrounding the world where the Sun rises from at dawn and returns to at sunset, and the mother of river, cloud, spring, stream, and fountain spirits. Daughter of Gaia, Tethys fed her children through the subterranean waters of Okeanos as her name is derived from the Greek word têthê meaning "nurse" or "grandmother." Moreover, she was often depicted in art with a pair of wings on her brow signifying her role as mother of rain clouds (3).
Lunar Eclipses can be more emotional than the usual Full Moon, bringing events that cause waves of change that continue to reverberate in their rippling effect. While there may be a need for grief and the release of tearful emotions like rain from clouds in response to events that will come from the eclipse, allow exploration of your watery internal landscape to bring you into contact with the enlivening water that resides there. Be curious about whatever you can feel emerging from within to be born into your life, as these feelings will likely intensify as we approach the Sagittarius Solar Eclipse on December 14.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote an article about the importance of listening.
Thanks, everyone for the really excellent comments on that post! You helped me realize that I forgot to discuss a very critical point: how to listen effectively.
Read more for some helpful advice!
One of the major hurdles when first starting a new foreign language is that it sounds so foreign!
In the very beginning, it can be helpful to passively listen to the language even if you don't understand anything. You will become more familiar and comfortable with the sound of the language. Later, when you really begin to learn it won't seem as strange.
But after that initial stage, passive listening isn't enough!
You need to have a method for actually understanding what you're listening to. This is called comprehensible listening.
I've talked very little about language learning theory on my blog. But the latest research says we naturally learn a second language by actively consuming comprehensible input (meaning reading and listening). This is a big topic, which I'll write more about in future articles.
What's important now is: You only learn if you can understand or have a method to understand what you are listening to or reading.
Does that mean you should only read and listen to texts that are very easy? Nope! You want material that is a little too hard for you. If it's too easy, then there is nothing you can learn from it.
But how can you understand something that is too hard for you? You need a method!
There are many methods and which one you decide to use will depend a lot on personal preference. Here are only three examples.
If the text you are listening to contains 80-90% structures and vocabulary that you already know, you can probably guess the meaning of the rest from context.
Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to find an appropriately difficult text for your level, especially when you're on a lower level. The texts found in most language text books are graded, so that they get progressively harder. But they also tend to be artificial and boring.
This is a lot easier for advanced learners. Once you've reached that level, you will already understand 80-90% of most texts that you encounter. That said, some people actually prefer to use only context because they believe it is the most natural method.
Using a transcript of the audio in the same language is my favorite method. When I don't understand something in the listening, I can look at the transcript and look up any unknown words or structures.
This is basically what I did with the Harry Potter books. I always bought both the audiobook and paper version. I tried to focus on the audiobook as much as possible while using the paper book as a transcript when necessary.
It's also relatively easy to do this with movies and shows. There are lots of websites where you can download the subtitles which can act as your transcript.
Song lyrics are also usually easy to find. Some podcasts transcribe their episodes. And so on!
This technique can be used anywhere you can find a suitable transcript.
Some people prefer to work with a translation of the text into their native language, as a means to understand it. For example, instead of looking up unknown words in the dictionary when I was listening to Harry Potter, I could have checked the English version.
There are even bilingual books where the page on the left is in one language and the page on the right is in the other. Or other prepared learning materials.
I don't personally like this method because I prefer to keep thinking in terms of the language I'm learning rather than going to a full translation into English. Good translations also tend not to be literal. Sometimes it can be difficult to see what parts of the translation connect to the original.
And, of course, in many cases it's harder to find a translation than a transcript.
What do think? Is understanding what you are listening to important? What method do you use to help you understand what you are listening to? Write a comment below!
Nice set of ideas for listening.
I didn't understand where to find websites to download subtities. Could you give me an example?
There are lots of websites where you can download subtitles. Just try googling for "subtitles".
Watching movies in foreign language is a great idea - it can be very entertaining and, unlike books, even if you understand little you can pretty much understand what's going on and keep on watching. Also - it's great for learning words from context. In a way you learn almost organically - hearing language and connecting it with a situation.
I once wanted to try improving my French watching movies with subtitles - without them it gets too frustrated, when you don't comprehend a word you cannot even check it in dictionary.
Sadly, it appeared soon that there are NO French subtitles for any movies in French. And I had chosen really most popular ones with Louis de Funes.
Frenchmen really do anything they can too make learning their language repelling.
Heh, yeah. When ever I see medical shows, even in my native language, I just ignore all the medical terminology. :-) Thanks for sharing your experience!
Great post and great list of suggestions. Are Polish audio books readily available for you there? I am looking for Turkish audio books but havne't looked hard enough yet. That would be my desired method. I love listening to audio books. Parallel texts are good too. I just released a Turkish/English guide and am preparing to publish the Polish and hopefully the Polish/English guide soon. Keep up the great work here.
Yes! There are lots of places to find audiobooks in Polish online.
In the past I ordered physical audiobooks (ie. on CDs) but that was a pain because they took so long to get here from Poland and I had one instance where they were lost in the mail.
Since then, I've been buying them in purely electronic format so I can just download them. The last two audiobooks I got from audioteka.pl but I've used other sites too, which I can't recall at the moment.
There are also a number of well-known Polish sites (one named after a certain domestic rodent - Poles will know what I mean ;-)) where you can download pretty much any book or audiobook for free. Of course, this isn't exactly in line with copyright which is why I don't recommend it.
Anyway, there must be equivalent sites for Turkish audiobooks!

Seven inmates killed in worst prison riots for 25 years in US
1:21pm Apr 17, 2018
Seven prisoners are dead after the worst prison riots in the US for 25 years.
Inmates armed with homemade knives fought each other for seven hours over territory and money at Lee Correctional Institution, South Carolina.
One inmate who witnessed the violence told The Associated Press that bodies were "literally stacked on top of each other".
The riot happened at Lee Correctional Institution, South Carolina. (AAP)
The slain were serving anywhere from 10 years to life in prison and their crimes ranged from murder to burglary to trafficking crack cocaine.
The youngest was 28 years old while the oldest was 44.
At least 17 prisoners were seriously injured, prison chief Bryan Stirling said.
The first fight started in a dorm about 7.15 pm on Sunday local time and appeared to be contained before suddenly starting in two other dorms.

Mobile phones helped stir up the trouble, causing state officials to urge the federal government to change a law and allow them to block the signals from prisoners' phones.
"These folks are fighting over real money and real territory while they're incarcerated," Stirling said.
The maximum-security facility in Bishopville houses about 1,500 inmates and there were 44 guards there when the first fight started.
No prison guards were hurt. Stirling said they followed protocol by backing out and asking for support.
It took several hours to restore order, but once a special SWAT team entered, the inmates gave up peacefully, he said.
The slain were serving anywhere from 10 years to life in prison and their crimes ranged from murder to burglary to trafficking crack cocaine. (AAP)
The prisoner who saw the riot exchanged messages with AP on the condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to have a mobile phone and fears retribution from other inmates.
He said he saw several attackers taunt a rival gang member who was badly injured.
"I just saw three dead on the sidewalk outside of my unit. One guy is still alive and breathing, but just barely," the inmate said.
The inmate who spoke to AP said many cell door locks were already broken before the riot and that he and other prisoners roamed around freely at the prison in Bishopville, located 40 miles east of Columbia.
The riot was the latest violence in the South Carolina prisons system, where at least 13 other inmates have been killed by fellow prisoners since the start of 2017.
It was the most inmates slain in a single riot in the US since nine prisoners and a guard died in 1993 at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, said Steve Martin, a consultant who helps the federal government monitor prison systems.
Hours after the violence started, no correctional officers or medical personnel attended to the dead or dying, he said.
"The COs (corrections officers) never even attempted to render aid, nor quell the disturbance," he said. "They just sat in the control bubble, called the issue in, then sat on their collective asses."
Stirling said the response teams entered as fast as they could.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, left, addresses the media during a press conference following a prison riot at the Lee Correctional Institution (AAP)
"We gathered as many people as we could, as quickly as we could and went in as soon as we thought it was safe for our staff," he said.
The inmate told AP he knew at least two of the slain men well.
He said he saw an inmate trying to get up before he "started into that 'death rattle' people often hear about, but never experience firsthand."
Most of the slain inmates were stabbed with homemade knives or slashed, while the remainder appeared to have been beaten, Lee County Coroner Larry Logan said.
Stirling said an investigation would determine if any other type of weapon was used.
The injured inmates required medical attention outside the prison, which made it more difficult for authorities to restore order, Stirling said.
The coroner said when he arrived it was a chaotic scene of fighting everywhere.
Logan said the state-run Lee Correctional Institution, like most other South Carolina prisons, is struggling to find enough workers, but he doesn't believe anything could be done once things got that far out of control.
Inmates armed with homemade knives fought each other for seven hours over territory and money at Lee Correctional Institution, South Carolina. (AAP)
"If everybody has an uprising, you are always going to be understaffed," Logan said.
"It's an incredibly bad day in South Carolina," said Senator Gerald Malloy, whose district includes Lee Correctional. "We failed. That's it."
Two officers were stabbed at Lee Correctional in 2015.
More recently, an inmate held a guard hostage for 90 minutes in March and another killed a fellow prisoner in February.
The deaths at Lee are the most in any South Carolina prison in recent years. Four inmates were killed last year by a pair of prisoners at Kirkland Correctional Institution.
Governor Henry McMaster commended Stirling's response and said he was outraged the state can't jam mobile signals in prisons.
"There are prisons around the country - state prisons, federal prisons all - that would be safer with this jamming," he said.
Stirling said officials planned to meet next month with the mobile phone industry to talk about solutions, but "until that's done, the folks that are incarcerated are going to continue their criminal ways from behind bars".

Dallas ISD announces new Chief of Strategic Initiatives and External Relations
By The Hub on	 November 16, 2016 News Briefs
The Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) announced Oct. 18 the promotion of Israel Cordero to Chief of Strategic Initiatives and External Relations. This new position, which is budget neutral, was created to strengthen and broaden Dallas ISD's ability to further develop corporate and community partnerships to support the district's strategic initiatives. Cordero will also be responsible for governmental relations at the state and local levels.
Cordero, most recently Deputy Chief of School Leadership, will continue to oversee the expansion of the district's collegiate academies and assume responsibility for the Dallas Education Foundation and Volunteer and Partnership Services. His team will also include two coordinators who were part of the former Intergovernmental Affairs and Community Relations office, a director of External Relations and a coordinator of External Relations with the Spanish-speaking community, all existing positions within the district.
Cordero will report directly to Deputy Superintendent Ivan Duran.


An internal Atlassian blog post I wrote to seek for design champions (designer, content designer, developer etc) within each product, as well as Cloud and Server to bridge the gap. To get this company excited to be the change they seek, and shape the design system to their product needs.
"Today at Atlassian there are 221 designers, in 9 offices across 6 countries around the world using our design system. We are acutely aware that the Design System team is very Sydney-centric. And as Atlassian grows, the problems we face around inconsistencies with components and patterns, and contributing back, will multiply unless we all work together. Lara M. Tacito, a product designer from Hubspot mentioned so powerfully in her blog that a design system should be "by the people – your system should be owned by all". We've listened to your feedback and we'd like to create a forum where assumptions can be challenged and see changes come into fruition.
In the midst of writing the blog I kept the illustrations at the back of my mind. Truthfully I was struggling to even come up with a hero illustration concept. Mainly due to how personal and passionate I was about the content of this work. I wanted Atlassian's to feel inspired and get involved with this initiative. But it's important to separate those elements, how can I communicate the story of the content without getting my emotions involved.
I sat back and thought, read a lot of blogs, and my manager sent me Lara M. Tacito's piece about Hubspot's systems. In a nutshell, it's about the people. This was my ah-ha moment! People making the system. I started to include our grid, iconography, toggles, color palette, modal dialog, code snippets… it was finally piecing together.

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY, VINCENT PRICE!
So last week I posted all about the weeklong "Vincentennial" event taking place in St. Louis to commemorate what would have been Vincent Price's 100th birthday. Now the actual day of Vincent's birthday (May 27th) has arrived!
Therefore, I'll point you once again to my previous post on the subject - click here to read all my thoughts on Vincent.
Also, since I last posted I discovered another fine blog by a fellow named Jeff York. He did his own wonderful piece on Price a few weeks back, and best of all, provided a lovely hand-drawn caricature of Vincent to boot! Enjoy it all by clicking here.
Now here's director Mick Garris ruminating on the wonders of "The Raven," courtesy of our favorite website here at Scared Silly - Trailers From Hell:
THE NEW SCARED SILLY MAS-CAT IS HERE!
Greetings Scared Silly fans! I have some exciting news for you. Yesterday we adopted a cute little kitty named Poe! Like our beloved Max who we lost last year (read about him when you click here), Poe is a black male and so far he has the same sweet disposition as Max.
A couple of really cool things: first, when we visited the couple giving the kittens away (Poe had some brothers available, too), I noticed a cartoony Frankenstein Monster nutcracker in the home. And the husband was wearing a Universal Monsters t-shirt! I told them all about Scared Silly and "Archie's Weird Mysteries" and they mentioned being fans of the latter.
Then there's the new kitty's name, Poe. My wife was the one who thought Poe (as in Edgar Allan, naturally) would be a good name (even before we learned the folks adopting him out were classic monster fans), and I quickly concurred. After all, I grew up with Edgar Allen Poe stories.
Furthermore, two of my favorite horror-comedies feature black cats and are loosely (very loosely) based on the Poe tale, "The Black Cat." You can read those reviews when you click on the titles below:
THE BLACK CAT (1941)
TALES OF TERROR (THE BLACK CAT SEQUENCE) (1962)
So here's to Scared Silly's new mas-cat – long may you mew!

THE PRICE IS FRIGHT!
Something rather marvelously wonderful is taking place this week in St Louis, Missouri. That's because the city famed for its arch is also famous for producing one of Hollywood's great arch-villains!
I'm speaking of course of the inimitable Vincent Price, who would have turned 100 on May 27th. To celebrate, St. Louis is throwing a grand birthday party starting on May 19th and going all the way through May 28th! They're calling it the "Vincentennial" (the "Pricentennial" sounds good as well, but maybe they passed on that one because it rhymes with "Bicentennial" – perhaps for Vinnie's 200th birthday?). Many special events are planned including screenings of some of Vincent's most famous horror films, guest speakers like Roger Corman (the man who directed Price in several of the classic Edgar Allan Poe movie "adaptations") and Price's daughter Victoria (author of a biography on her father), and special exhibits of Vincent Price memorabilia.
One of the city's premier newspapers, The St. Louis Beacon has several excellent articles about both the event and the man who inspired it. I'm sure many of my readers know how much of a renaissance man Price was – in addition to being a legendary actor he was also a gourmet chef, an extremely vocal advocate for art (he brought fine art into the mainstream with a special collection sold through Sears department stores), and even an author ("The Book of Joe" was his tribute to his dearly departed dog).
Whether you knew any of the above or not, you can read the wonderful features from the Beacon when you click here.
If you want an extra bang for your virtual buck, click here to check out Pete Timmermann's piece from Playback:stl. Timmermann concentrates primarily on Corman and the Poe cycle, providing additional background on these fine Vincent Price films.
And how do I feel about Price? Well, if you're a regular reader of this blog you know "Uncle Vinnie" has long been a favorite of mine. If you'd like to read some of my previous posts about Hollywood's Crown Prince of Horror, just click on any of the titles below:

You can learn all about my favorite Vincent Price horror flicks (and horror-comedies) at the above links, but while I'm here I'll also recommend two of his out-and-out comedies, the brilliant "Champagne for Caesar" co-starring Ronald Coleman (Coleman, the smartest man in town becomes a contestant on a game show sponsored by Price's company… and Price is none too happy shelling out the winnings to Coleman in a tour de force performance) and "Dr. Goldfoot & the Bikini Machine," a James Bond spoof whose infectious silliness makes up for the areas in which it is lacking (note that Mike Myers must have seen this one – the Austin Powers "Fembots" are surely inspired by this film).
I'd also like to recommend a film that is beyond categorization – it's one third film noir, one third romance and one third screwball comedy – and that's where Vinnie comes in, as the hammiest actor who ever took the stage in "His Kind of Woman," with Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell… yet another tour de force for Price!
Last but not least, I encourage you to check out the various Vincent goodies for sale from Amazon at the bottom of this post, including the Midnight Marquee Actor Series book on Price to which I contributed an essay.
Let's go out on a high note… courtesy of Vincent's co-star in this clip, Kermit the Frog from "The Muppet Show!" Here's to you, Vincent!
HAVE MONSTROUS FUN WITH FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2011!
This Saturday (May 7th, 2011), the tenth annual Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) event will be held in comic shops across the country. In the past nine years, scores of free comic books were given away by participating retailers to not only thank comic book aficionados, but to introduce the wonderful world of comics to new readers and fans as well! You can learn more about the event at the official FCBD site by clicking here.
Among the comics being given out this year are few that should appeal to "Scared Silly" fans. "John Stanley Summer Fun" from Drawn & Quarterly is a compilation of all-ages comic stories from one of the all-time masters of the genre, John Stanley (not to be confused with the horror movie historian-author and TV host of the same name). Included in this free edition is a story featuring Melvin Monster.
This year Melvin is joined by a couple of newer characters that seem mighty intriguing. With apologies to Godzilla, Super Dinosaur may just be the most stupendous dino that ever lived… and he just so happens to have lived through the ice age and made it to modern times! With awesome powers and even more awesome tripped-out armor, Super Dinosaur more than lives up to his name!
Kiddie cryptozoologists are going to have a field day with "The Intrepid Escape Goat!" Just check out this description from the Free Comic Book Day site: "It is the dawn of the 20th Century, and one brave soul dares to walk the line between the worlds of science and the arcane; he is Thomas Fleet... The Intrepid EscapeGoat! Touring with his ward and assistant Isis (a 2,000-year-old mummy girl), EscapeGoat performs to sold-out crowds around the globe... but it's what happens offstage, when locals call upon him to solve the paranormal mysteries plaguing their cities, that provides the most peril!"
Thomas Fleet sounds like he'd be right at home hanging out with Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica and their pals as they encounter "Archie's Weird Mysteries." That's the comic series I wrote, and while it's not a part of Free Comic Book Day, if you're going to the comic shop anyway, I politely request that you consider asking them to pre-order a copy of the upcoming book collecting my stories, "ARCHIE ALL-STARS": ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES." I've written about it a few times recently – just click here to get all the details.
In addition to Melvin Monster, Super Dinosaur and The Intrepid Scapegoat there will be several other great FCBD offerings featuring the likes of Thor, Green Lantern, Captain America, Spider-Man, The Tick, The Simpsons, Inspector Gadget, Kung Fu Panda, Betty & Veronica, Batman, Mickey Mouse, Sonic the Hedgehog and many more. And this post wouldn't be complete without a shout-out to my pal Joe Field of Flying Colors Comics of Concorde, CA – Joe was the guy who came up with FCBD in the first place! He's one of the sharpest comics retailers out there, a champion for great comics and literacy and a heck of a nice guy.
I'll leave you with this promotional clip that Merlyn's Comic Shop of Washington put together – it's their spoof of a famous modern-era horror-comedy, called "The Spokane Ghostbusters" – enjoy!
RIP JACKIE COOPER
Legendary actor-director-producer Jackie Cooper has passed away at the age of 88. I won't go into deep details on his career as I couldn't possibly cover it as eloquently as others who knew the man may end up doing. I for one am looking forward to seeing any articles that may be forthcoming from Leonard Maltin and/or Richard W. Bann, authors of the essential "Our Gang: the Life & Times of the Little Rascals."
Some Cooper highlights include at least three iconic roles: Jack/Jackie in the "Our Gang" theatrical short subjects from Hal Roach Studios (better known to generations who saw the films on TV as "The Little Rascals"), beleaguered boxer Wallace Beery's son in "The Champ," and Daily Planet newspaper editor (and boss to Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen) in the "Superman" movies from the 1970s and '80s.
Shortly after he left the Our Gang series Cooper was nominated for Best Actor for the title role in 1931's "Skippy" (at the age of 9!). On top of that he had the title role (and was nominated for two Emmy awards) portraying TV's "Hennesey" (a navy lieutenant doctor - Cooper also produced the show) and directed two Emmy-winning TV episodes - one each of "M*A*S*H*" and "The White Shadow."
Of course, here at "Scared Silly" we're most interested in his work as an Our Gang/Little Rascals kid. He is perhaps most famous for being smitten with teacher Miss Crabtree (the lovely June Marlowe) in a pair of shorts, "Teacher's Pet" and "School's Out." To really get on-topic here, I have to mention "Bouncing Babies," which takes place on Halloween Day and features the Gang in spooky costumes ("The Haunted Closet" blog features several great screen grabs from it) and "Moan & Groan, Inc." a bona-fide old dark house entry for the kids. "When the Wind Blows" gets an "horror-onable mention" for its brief scare moments as well.
Here's a clip of Jackie and the gang coming face-to-face with a gorilla from the public domain short, "Bear Shooters" (mislabeled as "Bear Hunters" by whoever posted this YouTube clip, but that happens sometimes). Jackie's the kid sliding the bear trap across the ground starting at approximately 2:20. Thanks for all the memories, Jackie!


We got an early start out of Loveland, CO, on our way to Boulder and Denver.
I got the feeling that Loveland and Longmont are still somewhat challenged by the most recent economic downturn and still in the state of recovery.
Boulder, on the other hand, is very robust and healthy. I actually mean "healthy" in two ways, both economically and in the physical health of its residents. Whenever we do a study involving health measures and health habits (eating, exercising), Boulder comes out as #1 in the U.S.


I'm a mother of one child that was home-schooled and I love taking care of children. We do everything from reading books to playing games. I will provide breakfast and light snacks throughout the day. You would only be expected to provide lunch. There is no registration fee, however I would expect advance bi-weekly pay. I only offer care Mon.-Fri. If you need 3rd shift care, 11pm-7am...no problem. Please feel free to call me at show contact info . I do not respond to email/text messages. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Ronald Olley was born in 1923, and studied at both the Harrow Art School and the Central School, London. His father served as a soldier throughout the First World War, and Olley joined the army in 1942. He witnessed the bombing of Bath, England, before being stationed at El Alamein in Egypt, and Italy.
As well as landscape and figure painting, Olley has had numerous commissions for portraits, mainly of women and children. As one of the last artists to paint World War II from personal experience, a significant part of his portfolio depicts battlegrounds and war-torn landscapes. These have been painted using significant research and photographs, alongside Olley's own knowledge of the front line.
His work has been shown at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, as well as in exhibitions at the Medici Gallery and at Duncan Campbell. His pictures have been bought by collectors in Europe, the USA, Australia, Africa and Japan.

Q: I can use getString of some object inside Done only? here the code:
ParseQuery<ParseObject> cities = ParseQuery.getQuery("cities");
        System.out.println("searchable value is " + firstCity);
        cities.whereEqualTo("cityName", firstCity);
        cities.getFirstInBackground(new GetCallback<ParseObject>() {
           @SuppressWarnings("null")
            public  void done(ParseObject object, ParseException e) {
            if (object == null) {
              System.out.println(object.getString("cityName"));

            } else {
                System.out.println(object.getString("cityName"));

            }
          }
         });

Why i cant use object.getString("cityName") outside the Done method?

A: Do your asynchronous operation in AsyncTask

A:
Why i cant use object.getString("cityName") outside the Done method?

Because object is an argument in the done() method and method arguments are scoped inside the method.
You can call another method passing the object reference, or you can e.g. store it to a variable that has broader scope (for example, a class member).

Can You Be Prosecuted for Possession of Burglary Tools?
Al's Legal Corner - Did You Know?
Question: Can a person actually be prosecuted for Possession of Burglary Tools?
Answer: Yes, as there actually is a charge called Possession of Burglary Tools. Florida Statute 810.06 makes it unlawful for a person to have in his or her possession any tool, machine, or to implement with the intent to use the tools or machines to commit a burglary or a trespass. It is also illegal to allow others to use the tools for the actual burglary. Such is a 3rd Degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison or up to five years of probation. Likewise, a person will face up to $5,000 in Fines, not including Court Costs.
So, what does this actually mean? Well, the State has to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the Defendant intended to commit a burglary or trespass, that the Defendant possessed said burglary tool, and that the Defendant took some overt act towards committing the burglary or trespass. Again, remember that one can still be in trouble even if a different person actually used the tool(s) to commit the burglary or trespass. Likewise, people often look at this statute as an intent statute, as in, even if you do not complete the actual burglary or trespass, you can still be prosecuted, as the statute and jury instructions do not require the State prove an actual burglary or trespass occurred, but rather only that an overt act towards completing such took place.
In order for an object to constitute a burglary tool, the prosecution must show that the Defendant used or actually intended to use the object to commit a burglary or trespass. See Calliar v. State, 760 So. 2d 885, 886-87 (Fla. 1999). Additionally, a conviction cannot be sustained upon a mere showing that the Defendant possessed the tool to commit some other offense, such as theft, once the burglary or trespass had already occurred. Id. at 887-88. An example of this statute in action is outlined in a case known as Latimore v. State, 753 So.2d 690, 691 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). In such, the Defendant was seen, at night, trying to remove a radio from the dashboard of a vehicle. There was no evidence that he had used the flashlight in any way in attempting to commit burglary or trespass. The Fourth District held that, in the absence of proof as to the use or intended use of the flashlight, a conviction for Possession of Burglary Tools could not be sustained.
So, what is a burglary tool? Common household objects, which serve a lawful or dual-use purpose, may be classified as burglary tools if the evidence establishes that they are used or intended to be used to commit a burglary or trespass. Green v. State, 604 So.2d 471 (Fla., 1992). Bolt cutters, screwdrivers, and other household items are some of the most common examples. Defenses to such will include a lack of intent by the Defendant to commit a burglary or trespass, or that the burglary tools were not in the same physical location as the Defendant. Additionally, a lack of evidence that the tools were actually used in the commission of a burglary or trespass can be a defense, as can the lack of even an overt act towards the commission of a burglary or trespass. It is not enough for the State to merely rely upon circumstantial evidence.
If you have been charged with possession of burglary tools, an attorney is critical for identifying legal and factual defenses that may be used in your case. Call my office immediately, as we are only digits away, 24 hours a day.

02 March 2019 Venue Arsenal Training Centre Attendance
Arsenal U18
Norwich City U18
Sign in to Canaries TV
Under-18s beaten by league leaders
Norwich City's Under-18s showed determination and character despite losing 6-2 against Arsenal at London Colney.
City's Under-18s lost against Arsenal, but dug in right till the end. City were without various members of the Under-18s squad due to them taking part in last night's Under-23s victory away against Manchester United.
Adam Idah and Gassan Ahadme were both on the scoresheet last night, and both are still eligible for City's Under-18s. Some players going out on-loan along with injuries has meant many Under-18s players have been called up to the Under-23s this season.
Daniel Barden remained in-goal for the Canaries, and came up against his former club. The defence remained unchanged, with Ethen Vaughan and Arash Ahmadi starting at full-back whilst Matt Richardson partnered Ante Berkeley at the heart of the City defence.
William Hondermarck started after featuring for the Under-23s on Monday, with Denzelle Olopade alongside him in the central midfield positions. Josh Giurgi returned to the City starting line-up on the left with Tony Springett starting on the opposite side. Tom Dickson-Peters once again partnered Kole Lambert up-top for the Canaries.
Arsenal started the stronger of the two sides and very nearly went ahead 30 seconds into the game when Flo Balogun was sent through on-goal, but the striker could only direct his effort well-over the City crossbar.
Moments later, Arsenal took the lead after what was a replica of the first chance a few minutes before. This time Balogun made no mistake and slotted the ball past Barden and into the back of the net.
Despite dominating large periods of the opening exchanges, City nearly responded with a goal themselves 10 minutes in. Lambert produced a fine bit of skill on the-half way line, flicking the ball over an Arsenal defender before crossing in. The ball was met by Dickson-Peters at the far post, but the striker couldn't get under control of the ball.
Five minutes later Barden was forced into making a close-range save with his head before Arsenal's second attempt saw Ahamdi clear superbly off the line to put the ball out for a corner.
The game started to open up, with chances at both ends, with City finding themselves incredibly unlucky not to be level 17 minutes in. Lambert's shot fell for Dickson-peters, but this time the forwards shot hit the underside of the crossbar before bouncing on the line and eventually cleared.
The Gunners doubled their lead after 20 minutes, with Balogun once against putting past Barden after being one-on-one with the 'keeper. Tyreece John-Jules scored from the spot after 30 minutes before Balogun got his hat-trick six minutes later.
Just before half-time Hondermarck turned round an Arsenal defender on the edge of the Gunners box before curling the ball narrowly wide of the far right post, out of the reach of Arthur Okonkwo in goal for the home side.
City got off to a great start in the second-half after Dickson-Peters squared the ball to Springett who bundled the ball over the line under pressure and pulled a goal back for the Canaries who were determined to not fold-in.
However the Gunners responded instantly and added a fifth, after Coyle stroked the ball into the back of the net. Sam Greenwood extended the home sides lead four minutes later, with a low-drive from the edge of the box.
City started to come into the game as the half went on and nearly pulled a goal back with 30 minutes remaining. Dickson-Peters took a touch to steady himself before smashing a shot towards goal, but his effort was blocked by the Arsenal 'keeper at his near post.
The City striker was again in the thick of action in the Arsenal box, but this time his half-volley at the back post forced Okonkwo into a fine diving save to deny Dickson-Peters from getting his goal.
Five minutes later Norwich were awarded a penalty after a good spell of pressure, and their pressure was rewarded when Dickson-Peters was fouled in the box which resulted in a penalty being awarded. Dickson-Peters took the penalty and slotted it into the bottom right-corner.
City's starting XI: Barden; Vaughan, Berkeley, Richardson, Ahmadi, Hondermarck, Olopade (Jackson 74), Giurgi, Springett, Dickson-Peters, Lambert (Khumbeni 34).
Unused Subs: Blair (GK).
